Giants need homes
The San Jose Giants, a Class A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, is looking for local families to take in their players this season.
The search is currently on for host families for the 2002 season, which runs April through August. Linda Pereira of the Giants needs to find enough families for the players by early March.
Host families provide a player with a room, and the Giants provide season tickets and parking passes for all of the club's games at San Jose Municipal Stadium. The team also hosts picnics for the families and sponsors an annual trip to a San Francisco Giants game at Pac Bell Park.
For more information on the host family program, call Pereira at 408.297.1435, ext. 19.
